How to Remove a Foley Catheter

Proper technique for removing Foley catheter.

God bless you! it came with a syringe which did not extract all the water! I started to panic and found your video. You saved me.

Nicely done video. I have the three-pronged at the top and was relieved to see exactly how to do this. My doctor was telling me this while I waited to go for surgery. To get verbal instructions when you've never even seen a catheter was not the best way to teach. Even a half sheet of paper with a diagram and the steps would have been much appreciated. I am so glad YouTube exists! But I have to say, finding a really good video for whatever you're looking for can be time-consuming. It takes skill to produce educational videos. I didn't realize until recently how much skill!

Thank-you for this EZ to understand video. Great picture to know which tube to cut as well. As well as explanation of the clear water drainage. And to wait a minute before trying to release the catheter. This is nerve wracking for someone who's never done it before.
Got the catheter to release. 😅

We just removed my catheter and it did come out smoothly although at the end where the balloon was deflated we had to pull a little bit to remove it

It helps to push down a bit like having a bowel movement after the fluid is out

Thank you for saving my life at midnight. Cannot wait for 2 more days to take it off. It's causing me lot of pain and trouble 🙄🙄🙄

For the sake of your patient. Make sure you have every drop of saline
form the balloon, DO NOT get in a rush! An inflated balloon is the
worst pain you can imagine.

So I can do this without a Dr? ...After 2 wks I'm ready to get rid of this thing ..

[Maimunamusakiri]

Seeing this and reading comments tells me every time I've had one of those damn things the nurse has removed it wrong. It's always incredibly painful like curling up in a ball and wanting to die for a long while and I always have light bleeding for around a week. Knowing this if I ever have another of these I'll be removing it myself before a nurse that won't let one properly deflate before yanking it out does.
